Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[yulilin3]

All I’ll say is, Friday (or tomorrow if I get back to WDW early enough) and Monday there may or not be 10+ CoA “ride reports” coming your way

Lol rode it yesterday, walked on at 6:55, was able to stay on and ride it twice before it closed at 7am.

One thing I don't think many people realize is these major theme park companies while competitors do work together. SeaWorld and Disney just speaking about animal care and that both companies worked on animal care throughout the closure and did work together on aspects.

They were talking quite a bit throughout the closure, which is why I never bought the whole “Disney got blindsided by UOR’s reopening” stuff. Especially in moments like this (pandemics, hurricanes, anything that prompts a closure), they work together and are in constant communication. As I said a few months ago, they even share employees (unofficially of course lol). You’d be surprised how many CMs work at Disney part time and Universal part time.

I equate it to the Yankees and Red Sox. The fans make it into more of a rivalry than the organizations themselves. Sometimes the players and coaches get heated by the rivalry, but for the most part, they’re cordial with one another.

Pretty fair comparison ... Thought not my favorite analogy since I am Mets fan which would play the role of FunSpot

But "it's HUGE"

And for anyone here right now, keep your eyes to the skies this week. We are scheduled to have 3 rocket launches between tonight and Sunday. Tonight (if you’re up late) at 2:12am there’s a ULA heavy rocket launch. I’ll be up watching as we‘ll be able to see the fireball all the way here in Tampa (as long as it’s clear). Being a heavy rocket, it’ll have more boosters than a regular Spacex Falcon 9, so more visible, especially being at night.

Then there are SpaceX launches on Friday at 7:19pm and Sunday at 10:08am. So take a look East at those times and you’ll see the smoke trails.

Everything is open/available other than the Spa, Billiards table, and Ping Pong.




Without naming names, I’m sure there are a few people in this thread that finds it funny the Yeti doesn’t work and will unlikely to ever be fixed

Not me obviously.

So could this delay the opening of YC and others? I haven't really been keeping up on the NBA...

Yacht Club opened Monday.

The infamous blue fence wasn’t there on Monday when I was at the boardwalk

Well that's good to hear. That was the first thing I thought about when I heard some games were being "postponed".

Yacht Club opened Monday but the league was out prior to that. I had seen Ale & Compass soft opened this past weekend.

Glad to see Disney is pressing charges. No excuse for this behavior. Guests are repeatedly informed about the mask mandate.

I suspect they’ll just pack the schedule tighter as I don’t think the NBA would care to foot that bill. (Also don’t think the players really want to stick around WDW in their bubble longer than they already planned on when push comes to shove.)

I think we will not know when Disney lifts capacity restrictions. They will just do it.

But first they have to fill what they have now which they are having a hard time doing.

I have feeling if Florida numbers keep declining we might actually see Disney being a little busy for this Holiday season.
